Not
only one party was on the schedule of the first competition
day! The Opening Ceremony in all its glamour the evening before
was a guarantee for a great party-week to be coming - and here
we are, Monday night and the crowd's already rockin' the house!
Most of the people here in Val di Sole caught a bad flue and
had to stay at home, those who had not get affected until now
tried to block the bacteria with a helluva lot of antibiotics.
Nevertheless, the epidemic couldn't prevent us from partying.
The Welcome Party in the Disco Arzimpò started in typical Italian
style featuring Italian Disco music, but the further the evening
grew the more entertaining it became. Finally we ended up shaking
to 70ies music together with only a few of the pro riders such
as Nicola Thost, Cecile Plancherel - the real cybercasting addicts
know that name already, Cecile is always partying in the first
row - Ariane Glaus, Tommy Marsh or Mikael Berg. That was a pity,
at a Welcome Party we are used to have at least 80 % of the
active snowboarders showing up, but this was the result of the
exhausting two weeks of competition beforehand, both the European
Champs in Leysin as well as the Lords of the Boards in Fieberbrunn
saw all the riders participating and preparing for the World
Championships here in Val di Sole! The show of the Lap Dance
Girls was a bit strange since the girls did in no way match
the classical picture of table-dance girls: one was a quite
well developed feminine woman whereas the other one had muscles
like a body-builder. I found that quite impressive, but girls
out there, don't be desperate: most of the men find a woman
with a six-pack not that attractive, some even say it would
be like hugging a man... |
